To Pull or not to pull

[TNOSE_E]

So I have quite a few thorns in my tubless. Do I remove them and go for a spin round the block or just leave them as is and add  a bit more fluid?

Leave them in.You shouldnt need an unscheduled top up either unless you pull them out.

don't take them out. a ride on a hard surface will get rid of them for you.

[bduplessis]

thou must not take out thee thornes.

[wackwack]

it may sound stipid - but why not?

[TNOSE_E]

Will resist the temptation then!

Thanks

Dont pull them out. When your tyre is worn out one day, you invert it, clean off the gob and count the number of thorns protruding on the inside.

 

Then put it all in a spreadsheet and calculate how much time and agony the sealant saved you.

mmmmm , aaaaaah ok I say pull them ! maybe , just maybe one day you need to put a tube into that very worn tyre of yours and you gonna spend a few hours first removing the thorns !

You the type of person that does this?

Confession: I like to pull them out to test if the sealant is working. But I only do 1 thorn per tyre every time I clean it. It's my guilty pleasure!

All fine and well leaving them in, but what happens if you flat one day and need to put a tube in? You now need to sit and pull all the bu@@ers out before you can ride the tube...

If you are someone that's loaded, just buy a new tire

Buying a tyre somewhere in the bush is sometime a bit of a problem !

Isn't this where one of those tubeless tyre repair kits comes in?

The tubless plugs can't repair all holes / cuts. And at some point using a tube is in the post.......
